     I was at Waggoner's Gap Hawkwatch on Thursday, Friday and Sunday.  The 
     highlights for the period were: Golden Eagles - 11 (Thursday), 24 
     (Friday) & 19 Saturday (sorry I wasn't there); 7 Goshawks on Thursday; 
     about 20 Red-shouldered and 200+ Red-tails (one dark morph) each day ; 
     and Cooper's, Osprey, Sharp-shinned and Harrier. Sunday was slower 
     with lesser numbers and no Goshawks. Except for Ravens, vary few 
     nonhawks were migrating. A little further afield, I was at the Duluth 
     Minnesota Hawkwatch October 17-24, the highest daily numbers were 
     (about): - 1500 Red-tail, 275 Bald Eagle, 10 Golden Eagle, 1000 
     Sharp-shinned, 23 Goshawk, 10 Rough-legged, 8 Cooper's, 19 Merlin, 8 
     N. Shrike, both Cross-bills (many), 1 Black-backed Woodpecker, 1 Pine 
     Marten, 1 Harris' Sparrow & beautiful scenery.  Happy birding, Dan 
     Eberly
